IMPROVEMENT IN CHIMNEYS.

Theschedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

To all whom it mq/y concern: 7

Be it known that I, SAMUEL Hone, of Mount Pleasant township, Frederickcounty, and State of'Maryland,

have invented an Improvement in Chimneys-Self- Cleaner, and I herebydeclare the following to be an exact description thereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters ofreferenceinarked thereon, making a part of this specification, in which-Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the chim ney.

Figure 3 represents a section of the wire cleaner, as .connected withanother section, at each joint of the chimney.

Figure 4=represents a cross-beam at each joint of the chimney, with acentreaperture, as a guide for the.

central rod or pivot of each section of the cleaner.

Figure 5 is an under-side view of the chimney.

Figure 6 represents the movable radiator, located above the fire-place.I

Thenature of my invention consists in the construction of an ironchimney, with a self-acting cleaner, operated by means of the vane .attop, the cleaner being formed of stout wire, and supported bycross-pieces as guides, with central apertures for the cleaner torevolve in, there being a section of cleaner at each-section of thechimney; the chimney having a revolving reel orthrough the pipes EE,-that may be attached and lead to any roolns or chambers above, so asto carry up the heat and heat the upper rooms.

, When a cooking-stove is used, all the steam, smell, 850., of thecooking are carried off through the oblong Figure 2 represents avertical section or the same.

aperture F into the chimney D, the outside pipes, E E, having beenclosed. The soot thatl'alls down the chimney can becleaned out, byremoving the radiator B, at any time, or can be taken-out at the door G.The radiator, B, is a circular plate, with the two apertures, G

and F, and rests upon a circular ledge at the lower partof the chimney,above the fire-place, and is inserted or removed at any time, by beingtaken out edgewise, through the slots J J of the ledge H. The body ofthe chimney isformed of cast-iron tubes, each about sigr feet in length,having a shoulder at each joint for the upper tube to rest in, and ateach joint are crossbeams K, of bar-iron, permanently set into theshoulders of the tube, having a centre aperture, in which the centralrod or pivots, L, of the square cleaners, M, operate and are guided. Therod L has a square joint above each cross-piece K, so as to revolve eachsection of the cleantures at one side of the reel, opposite to the.direction of the wind, to prevent thechimneyfrom smoking, and regulatethe draught.

The pipe-holeR-isfor thepurpose of insertingapipe into the chimney froma stove on the outside.

What I claim as' my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

1. The combination'of the self-acting cleaners M with the guides K, whenconstructed with and operated by means of the vane N, as hereindescribed, and for the purpose set forth.

2. Also, aniron tubular chimney, in" sections, with a fire-place A,radiator B, reel 1?, cleaners M, and vane N, when constructed, combined,and operated ashorein described, and for the purposes set forth.
